Now India has worlds largest railway platform

Now India's Gorakhpur has the world's longest railway platform. It was inaugurated on October 6. North Eastern Railways (NER) GM, KK Atal inaugurated the remodeled Gorakhpur Yard in Uttar Pradesh. Within the scheduled time, the remodeled work was completed on war-footing by the Indian Railways. With the inauguration of the remodeled yard, Gorakhpur now has a platform measuring 1,366.33 metre with ramp and 11,355.40 metre without ramp. The NER, with this achievement, has also secured a place in the Limca Book of Records. The certificate for the same would be issued soon. The achievement of the Gorakhpur station would also be incorporated in the Guinness Book of World Records. To mark the achievement, the Indian Postal Department also is likely to release a special postal cover.
